Hall 1 and Hall 2 are connected by a sky bridge, and during exhibitions the venue operates shuttle routes linking the station and the hall entrances. The center primarily hosts large international trade shows, with occasional consumer-facing exhibitions such as auto shows and education expos open to the general public.
